Synthetic Cults
Social disorganization develops crisis cults or projective systems resulting from culture strains. These cults and systems serve the function of self-identification of its adherents to a certain set of values. The syncretism within those cults relates to the diversity of the origins of cult elements, belief elements and artifacts gathered from religions, folklore and spiritism, and is actualized through rituals in the frame of postideological techno-cracy.
Researchers on the field of mind control suggest that the UFO-abduction phenomenon is staged by the intelligence community as a cover for their illegal experiments. Abductees claim that they were transported to an underground facility. Almost every federal agency or military institution has several secret underground facilities all over the USA, some of them so secret, that there are only rumors about their existence. Otherworldly journeys to strange underground places are common in UFO abductions and the question arises if the abductees did undergo hypnoprogramming during the kidnapping. The Cult Abuse Network?s definition of what is a destructive cult closely matches the practices of domestic human testing of involuntary subjects: "A destructive cult is a closed system whose followers have been unethically and deceptively recruited through the use of manipulative techniques of thought reform or mind control. The system is imposed without the informed consent of the recruit and is designed to alter personality and behavior."
